Who Is This Remarkable Person

Su Li's figure had long disappeared into the kitchen, but Prince Ling was still staring blankly in that direction. His attendant called him several times but he didn't respond, his mind filled with the image, face, and voice of that little spicy girl just now.

This countryside girl truly had a unique charm of her own...

The attendant waiting nearby to shoo people away was getting impatient. He glanced back at the man and said to Prince Ling, "Young master, please stop looking. Kindly give up your seat; there are still people waiting in line behind you."

Only then did Prince Ling come back to his senses. It was the first time in his life that the noble Prince Ling had given up his seat to someone else.

The attendant saw that the noble young master didn't protest and gave up the seat, so he felt less annoyed and maintained his professional polite smile, saying, "Young master, our Serenity Vegetarian Bistro has this membership system. Honestly, there's no other way. Without a threshold, there are too many diners, and we simply can't accommodate them all, which keeps our boss terribly busy."

As the attendant spoke, he gestured toward the long queue outside.

Prince Ling then noticed that the line of people waiting outside had doubled since he came in.

"Oh? What is this membership system?" Prince Ling found the term novel and asked curiously.

The attendant then explained the membership system set up by Su Li—how membership was by internal invitation only, the points system, and so forth.

Prince Ling had never heard of such an innovative idea before. He listened quietly and with interest as the attendant finished, then said, "Quite a fresh idea. Selling membership itself can make money, and it also raises the bistro’s threshold. Clever business."

The attendant smiled proudly and said, "Naturally! Our boss Su Li not only has great culinary skills but also sharp business acumen! You see, most of the shops and houses in Shilipo belong to our boss Su Li! I heard that when Shilipo was still desolate, our boss bought the best prime shops and houses here. Then, when Wutong Academy opened, land prices soared, rents doubled and doubled again, making a fortune. You have to admit, our boss Su Li is impressive!"

Prince Ling was surprised. Seeing the prosperity of Shilipo, he knew the land prices wouldn’t be cheap. He hadn’t expected that Su Li had such foresight to buy early. Truly a sharp-minded person.

Seeing Prince Ling’s surprise, the attendant felt even prouder and said, "Not only that, our boss Su Li also grows off-season vegetables. Even in the snowy winter, she cultivates all kinds of fresh, juicy vegetables that nowhere else has! Those vegetables sell for many times the price of meat. At these prices, people from all over compete to buy them, fearing they’ll miss out. I’m telling you, working for such a boss means plenty of silver in hand and peace of mind!"

Hearing about the off-season vegetables, Prince Ling naturally knew of their fame. Last winter, a fresh vegetable trend suddenly swept through the high-end restaurants of the capital, bringing tender fresh vegetables from unknown sources, allowing people to enjoy various delicacies even in the limited winter ingredients.

These vegetables were naturally always present on Prince Ling’s dining table. He had marveled at how such vegetables could be grown in the dead of winter, wondering what kind of ingenious ideas and skills were behind it.

Now knowing that these off-season vegetables were also the work of the business-savvy boss Su Li, Prince Ling’s interest was piqued.

He needed to oppose the Crown Prince, and besides gaining the support of the Chu Kingdom, money was also crucial.

If he could recruit a businessman as sharp as boss Su Li, and use his own influence to do business, wealth would surely pour in.

Prince Ling’s eyes lit up immediately, and he asked the attendant, "May I ask who exactly this boss Su Li is? I would very much like to meet her."
